This is Summer, isn't it? Well....

[Interdimensional Observer]

...where is Vestaria Saga's translation?!

I dislike to gripe, but we were told it would come out in the Summer, and it is already July 20th, we're in the days of Sirius by this point, the peak of the heat. Yet we've heard nothing. Has it been dropped? Is it looking more like an early Autumn/Fall release? I want to know. I mean sure I want it to be a good translation and not machine madness, and I know this is the work of probably some small team not being paid much if anything for the translation. But I just want some sort of bone thrown my way for the moment, anything will do. 

 

 

Guess I'll have to kill the time by forcing myself to eat watermelon. How can something that looks so good with that bright red flesh and beautiful green skin, taste so wrong? It's mostly water I'm told, but whatever is in there, tastes like something that were it in your drinking water, you'd stop drinking it right away for fear of having to worship Kanbari afterwards. I want to like it, as I do watermelon lolipops and that wonderful appearance, I just need to adjust.

Is this game something on the lines of Berwick Saga? I would like to play it :o

And I would like to be in Summer, I hate Winter and I hate rain

Well, the season lasts until late September, so... perhaps it's just a matter of being a little more patient?

August release or early September are still possible.

I would just be patient.  I think we'll see it around ...late August, perhaps?

By the way, you might want to fix the clickbait title before Eclipse gets you.

Protip: not everything goes as scheduled. Especially if it's a fan/indie project with no real deadline.

Relevant: I've been waiting on Mega Man X: Corrupted since I first heard about it nine years ago. And I waited eight-and-a-half years for AM2R.

I chose to put this in FFtF since it isn't worthy of being considered as a serious topic being some petty whining. And thus I decided why not go with a little clickbaity title? FFtF is fine for such things, or so I see, to a degree.

Wow. And what is MMX Corrupted? Did someone actually consider following through on the nitty-gritty FPS MMX idea?

Kaga decided that in retirement, he'd make another game or two. He used a free program called SRPG Maker to make a full-length FE-styled game, and has plans for a sequel to it to finish the story, plus a sidestory between the two big games which has been delayed. 

Plot involves grand politics, love, and questionable Kagaisms alike, complete with a new Wolf of the Plains I believe. The game is text heavy, to the point there is a chapter that is nothing but talking (it's specially designated though, so you won't accidentally sit through it).

Gameplay-wise, it's much closer to normal FE than Berwick, squares instead of hexes, a simple player phase-enemy phase split as opposed to alternating. This said, Kaga continues to put more of an emphasis on personal weapons, skills, and things other than just raw stats. The maps from what I've read are generally complicated in some way, and the game is tricky and not for those who don't like a challenge. I recall hearing about one map that sounded particularly fun where you have to siege a city, and are given like a half-dozen ways to weaken the enemies within before you actually attack it.

If you search "Vestaria Saga" on SF's home page, you can bring up a load of articles on it to get an idea of it for yourself. Here is one of them:

In Japan, the game is free. But owing to the translation, it will have an unknown price attached to it aboard.

 

 

 

And I know patience is a virtue, there is nothing else I can do. I just wanted to voice my inner unsated yearnings once.

Why did I click on this thread just to say this?

Yeah it's closer to Tear Ring Saga or FE than it is to Berwick. The maps seemed very complicated to me (though that could've been added to by the fact that I don't speak Japanese). The game also forces you to use every character, so much so that if you don't distribute your exp right the later maps are unclearable (unless you're cool with losing some of your units). I got to chapter 19 (out of 20 or 21 I think) and that was the point I quit. It's a really hard game but it's super fun also, I can't wait for the translation.

That's some patience you have there!

That's... oddly specific...

Why not look for a hobby you've always wanted to try to pass some time?
